FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this mixer?

The Hansgrohe Ecostat Thermostatic Bath Mixer Comfort requires a minimum water pressure of 1 Bar to function correctly.

Can I install this mixer myself?

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. It connects to existing water supplies via flexible hoses. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, we recommend hiring a qualified professional.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.

What is the purpose of the optional thermostat safety stop?

The optional safety stop can be set to prevent the water temperature from exceeding 40°C, providing an extra layer of protection against scalding, particularly useful in households with children or elderly individuals.

Does this mixer come with a shower head and bath spout?

No, this is a thermostatic bath mixer unit only. You will need to purchase a compatible shower head and bath filler spout separately.

What does 'exposed installation' mean?

Exposed installation means the mixer is mounted directly onto the wall surface, with visible connections to the hot and cold water supply, as opposed to concealed installation where pipes are hidden within the wall.

What is the weight of the product?

The product weighs approximately 5.03 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure your water system meets the minimum 1 Bar pressure requirement. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water supply lines or within the mixer itself. If the issue persists, consult a qualified plumber.

Low water flow from shower head or bath filler

Check the water pressure. Clean the aerator on the bath filler and the showerhead for any limescale or debris. Inspect the flexible hoses for kinks or obstructions.

Mixer leaks from connections

Ensure all connections are tightened securely but not overtightened. Check that the flexible hoses and any seals are in good condition and properly seated. If leaks continue, replace the affected hose or seal.

Safety stop not engaging or water still too hot

Verify that the optional safety stop has been correctly installed and set according to the manufacturer's instructions. If it's correctly installed, and the issue persists, there may be an internal fault with the thermostat, requiring professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This mixer is designed for exposed installation. Connect it to your existing hot and cold water supply lines using flexible hoses (G ½, DN15), ensuring secure connections to prevent leaks. Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1 Bar for optimal performance.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires a hot water supply and a cold water supply. Designed to work with systems that can provide at least 1 Bar of water pressure.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the surface. For limescale buildup, use a mild vinegar solution and wipe clean.
